Christmas Cactus

For many years I've nurtured a Christmas cactus that simply will not bloom. I wrote about it last holiday season and researched what I could do to get blossoms this year. So far, no success; at least with my own Christmas cactus. But, I received the blessing of a blooming Christmas cactus this year through another avenue. Grandpa, a snowbird, has gone to Arizona for the winter. I volunteered to care for some of his plants. The day after his Christmas cactus arrived at my house it started to bloom and is prolific and absolutely beautiful! I feel so blessed and am enjoying it's beauty!
